Kernels > 2.6.18 do not support Xen dom0 on any architecture, as far as
I'm aware.

It depends on how many CPUs you export to the guest.  See your config
file for how many you export.

This I don't know - if you have the config files in /etc/xen/auto 
the guests should boot on startup no matter why it went down.

I'm guesing you're +/- 2hours from UTC?

Run tzconfig in the domU.  For some reason this bites me fairly often
when bootstrapping a new guest.   I guess something doesn't work right
in the debootstrap environment and it has to be cleaned up manually
afterwards.
